Brian Sexton, John Osher, Ashland Sullivan, Jaguars. 3 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Drive Time starts right now. I'm happy Tuesday, Good morning, sun, 4 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: splash Field that ever Bank. Just a minute ago we 5 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: were looking at the Heartbridge Expressway. I always marvel at 6 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: how peaceful it looks. You know, people are out there, 7 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: maybe listening on tune in there it is um. Everything's 8 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,480 Speaker 1: moving along, swimmingly. And yet when I'm out on that road, 9 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm not in here. I think, oh my god, let 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: me get off this traffic. You just see the road rage? 11 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: Now are you you raged? That way? So peaceful road 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: road today. We know that during drivetime it often isn't peaceful, 13 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: but we hope you're having a nice morning here. Brian Sexton, 14 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: along with John Osier and Ashland Sullivan for Jacks Drive 15 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Time got a big show four today. One thing we 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: want to start with something new as we get set 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: for a five day work week for this program starting 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: in the fall. If we announced that yet what we 19 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: just did, it could be Monday through Friday nine thirty 20 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: on this program every single day. One of the things 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: we want to do is a Twitter poll get you 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: engaged in the program since we stream live on Twitter, 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: um and today we have a Twitter pull up. In fact, 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: it probably is out there right now, thanks to darn 25 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: and the great folks over in digital and social for 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: getting it out there. We're asking you to answer this 27 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: question which a f C South team offers the greatest 28 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: challenge to the Jaguars repeating as division champions. So let 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: us know what you think. Obviously, Colts, Texans, Titans, and 30 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: then no one, what do you know? What do you think? 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that a little bit later in the show. 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: Good morning, guys, how are you? Good morning? I'm gonta 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: say the Jaguars off for their biggest challenge that a 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: little bit more. How it's been awesome? Right And speaking 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: of road rage, Ashlan, how are you? I'm great. I 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: didn't have any road okay, good? I got here nice 37 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: and early? All right? Good? I did not. Yeah, I 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: think that's going to be a challenge for you just 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: to kind of adjust your schedule a little bit. No, 40 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: you really haven't, but early yet either, But on time 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: is on time? I guess, so I guess. So I 42 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: don't know if I co from time I have been downtime. 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: I think everybody's watching right now can certainly appreciate that. 44 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: So don't forget the Twitter poll. Also, since we're streaming 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: live on Facebook as well, if you've got comments, Ashlyn 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: over there with your computer in front of her will 47 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: be perusing them. So basically, in the last block of 48 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: the show, we're going to see how interactive we can 49 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: be with your thoughts and comments. Both hands on the wheel, 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: especially in the Heartbridge Expressway. But if you are in 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: a position where you can join us, we'd love to 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: have your thoughts in this morning program, our presentation drivetime. 53 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: So let's start with big things. Let's do it. Big 54 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: thing Number one is Rookies. They are here at the 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: stadium for the first time this week ever since two 56 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: thousand fifty when Dante Faller Jr. Tour that a c 57 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: L during Rookie Mini Camp, this program has changed a 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: little bit. So guys we're looking at this year, how 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: do you think it will differ at all from last season? Well, 60 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: the weekend this weekend, I probably won't. It's it's it's 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: very much an orientation and they asked by people in 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: the old days they used to open this and I've 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: asked by people, why don't they open it now? Well, 64 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: there's not much to see, is the biggest reason. It's 65 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: it's it's it's practice. The media doesn't even really get 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: to watch it. It's very much through, very right, and uh, 67 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: it's it's very much a walk through very much. Let's 68 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: get these guys ready so that they know the schedule, 69 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: that they know the drills, what's going to be expected, 70 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: the pace of things, and get them ready for when 71 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: they h the O t A s start in the 72 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: on field starts stuff with the veterans a little later 73 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: in matt You know, not everybody. Let's say everybody, the 74 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: thirty two teams all have their own philosophy how this 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: goes two thousand fifteen, so that would be three rookie 76 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: camps to go. I was standing next to Dan Edwards 77 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: and we're out there just chatting. You know, it's a bright, 78 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: sunny day, it feels like any camp and rookies are 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: running around. And by the way, it's not just the 80 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: draft class and the undrafted. They have a long list 81 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: of guys who were invited for tryouts so that they 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: could have enough guys to actually go through some of 83 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: these things. There's also some first year guys who are 84 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: around but don't have the experience actually be veterans, So 85 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: it's that much. So we're watching and all of a sudden, 86 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: down goes Dante Fowler couldn't tell the number, didn't even 87 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: know the number at that point. Were just handed the 88 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: roster first and I turned to Dan and I said, 89 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: is that the rookie first round picked out? And he said, 90 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: I believe that it is. And of course we know 91 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: he missed that season. And since then, the Jaguars changed 92 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: their approach, which in retrospect is really smart because these 93 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: guys are not in football shape. Now. The injury was fluke. 94 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: He wasn't even engaged with anybody. His knee just buckled. 95 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: But it really changed the approach to the rookie minicamp. 96 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: As you said, it's more about getting a man and 97 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: getting him up to pace, up to speed, not just 98 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: on the field, but in the weight room. How they're 99 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: going to work with Tom Mice Linskin, so that they're 100 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: ready to work. You know how it is on your 101 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: first day of work. You're all over the place, he 102 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: you're walking, you don't know what's going on. So they 103 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: want these guys to be as ready as possible, in essence, 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: so that they don't get in the veterans way as 105 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: much as anything, so that those guys can work and 106 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: then the rookies can catch up. And I'm not getting away, 107 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: but everything gets going. Now go back to Fowler. That 108 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: was a disappointment, I mean for everybody because we were 109 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: anticipating seeing this guy on the field, and the jack 110 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: were certainly needed the pass rush. At that point, they 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: were still a team struggling to create pressure on the quarterback. 112 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: It's different this year for the rookie class because, as 113 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: you've written and national folks have observed, none of these 114 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: guys may start, which is the first time we've had 115 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: this in a while, or the team hopes they don't start, 116 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: because for most of these guys, if they start, um 117 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: something else has gone wrong, someone's injured. Who starts if 118 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: everything else goes right. I don't think they want what 119 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: riches on the field at all this year. You would 120 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: like Harrison as a special teams player. Nobody below that 121 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: except the punder and Tavin Brian. You know, it's it's 122 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: almost not fair in this day and age to say 123 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: that Shark and Brian won't be starting because there's really 124 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen guys on each side of the ball who 125 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: matter like starters, So to say that they won't be 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: involved is to misrepresent what they want from those guys. 127 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: But they won't be number one on the depth chart 128 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: unless something goes wrong. It's really interesting about this, Ashley, 129 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: is that when we were growing up, Right and John 130 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: followed the Redskins, and I follow the St. Louis Cardinals 131 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: and then then the Kansas City Chiefs. When the Cardinals 132 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: went to Arizona, first round picks didn't come in with 133 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: the expectation of starting. There was the rare player that 134 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: was so good, but overall rookies were brought along and 135 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: we're for the first time, I think in my professional career, 136 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: which is twenty five seasons, we're at a point where 137 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: we're back to that where this roster has enough players 138 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: that you don't have to say the right tackle needs 139 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: to start, the safety needs to step in. Well, it's 140 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: really rare, because really rare. We started covering the league 141 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: and ninety four, remember that was right after free agency began, 142 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: and it was a few years after. In the old 143 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: days when I was growing up watching it, there was 144 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: really no free agency, so the only way you could 145 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: turn your roster was getting guys through trade where you 146 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: could get guys who were released or rookies. So as 147 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: a result, you would have eighteen nineteen twenty stars coming 148 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: back on a team and it would be notable when 149 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: I guest started, especially for the good teams. So the 150 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: thought that rookies come in right away Ashland is a 151 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: product of free agency which was came along right And 152 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: you look at this team's free agency the past few years, 153 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: They've acquired so many needs during that time that now 154 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: the draft, it's like they're just adding depth, which is 155 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: a good thing to have. Yeah, and as you said, 156 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: really really rare to be in this position. So just 157 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: you set the expectation level for what Harrison should be 158 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: this year, which is a terrific special teams player, maybe 159 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: a spot performer where they need him. How about the 160 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: first two picks though, Um, what's a fair expectation for 161 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: Tavin Bryant's contribution And I'm not saying a number of 162 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: tackles or sacks or any of that up thing for 163 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: DJ Chark, who with Montcrief in front of him, doesn't 164 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: have to step in and be the big play threat 165 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: right away. I would put you guys who want more 166 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: from Brian because it's a position where you would think 167 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: the defensive line is going to rotate. Um. If you 168 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: think about Smoots play last year, I would expect him 169 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: to be contributing a little quicker than Smoot his first 170 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: round pick and parried to a third round pick. Uh. 171 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: He's a guy who they expected at some point to 172 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: be a star down the road. I don't know that 173 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: they expect Smooth to be a star on that level. 174 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: They spected to be a very good player. UH. So 175 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: I would go back look Smith. I think Smooth played 176 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: two fifty to three hundred if memory serves plays. Uh 177 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: started playing more at the end of the season when 178 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: they wanted to give Clay's Campbell a little bit, a 179 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: little bit of a break. So I would think you'd 180 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: see him Smooth just played on that outside and spot. 181 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: I would think you'd see Bryant play a little bit 182 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 1: there and a little bit inside, try to figure out 183 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: where he works bad. And I think it's fair to 184 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: expect some more impact than you got from Smooth last year. 185 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: Smarent a couple of decent plays uh and played very 186 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: well in terms of getting them through spots where Campbell 187 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: wasn't in. But I would think you'd see Bryant make 188 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more of an impact. Sorry, I think 189 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: you'll see him probably have You'll feel like he's contributing 190 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: more because he's an offensive guy, and every catch will 191 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: be noticeable. Five catches, you know, uh, if if he 192 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: can stretch the field, he can make an impact with 193 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: that actually having stats. I'll be interested by the way 194 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: and how the Drags used Brian because you know, on 195 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: Draft night they talked about how he can play a 196 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: couple of different roles for them. He can play the three, 197 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: he can play the five, you can play the seven, 198 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: you can play a couple of different the strong end 199 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: um in particular. You know with rookies they have around 200 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: here kind of focus them in one area. If they 201 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: just have Davin Bryant playing that three technique, it would 202 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: seem to me their expectations are writer than if he 203 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: plays the three and the five. You know, then they're 204 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: just trying to well, not Josh, but they're working him 205 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: in two different spots, trying to have him part of 206 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: the rotation. I think if he just works at the three, 207 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: well then it says we expect him to be a 208 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: guy who contributes in the role we give him. I'm 209 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: really interested to see how he learns and how quickly 210 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: he will When you're going up against that defensive line 211 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 1: and you're with them every day, Think how quick he'll 212 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: learn from guys like Klais Campbell and Malie Jackson. His 213 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: first day in that rep line, that's gonna be exciting. 214 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: And I supposedly his m O is he's a hard 215 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: work or good learner and he should catch on fast. 216 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: And I talked to Jerry Sullivan, the old Jaguars wide 217 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: receiver coach, about Shark yesterday. He loves the guy, said 218 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: if he was coaching in the NFL, this is the 219 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: kind of kid he would want. He started working with 220 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: the coach who worked with him. He was a consultant 221 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: last year. Jerry was but he's able to watch the 222 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: kids progress, and he said absolutely that he's got the talent. 223 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: There's some stuff he needs to work on in terms 224 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: of hands, but the character, the things that he likes. 225 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: I got the idea that he liked Shark in the 226 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: same way that he liked Dave rob Hearns leave that 227 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: bunch felt like talking to Jerry about those guys, which obviously, 228 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: look what you did with those guys. All right, So 229 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: Rookie Minicamp this week. They'll be in later in the 230 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: week and we will not obviously be out on the 231 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: practice field, but we'll get a chance to talk to 232 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: some of the guys on Friday and head coach Doug Morons, 233 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: who we'll have a rap of that next week here 234 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: on Jags Drive Time.

Welcome back to Jaggs Drive time on 263 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: this Tuesday morning. Here with Big Thing number two. We're 264 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: looking at veterans now, the whole team, veterans and rookies, 265 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: adding them together. Looking at a few position groups here, 266 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: like running back guys, and they didn't draft a running 267 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: back you don't have a rookie to fill in that spot, 268 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: now what Yeah, and this is the time, obviously, if 269 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: you're where you start looking at your big round things, uh, 270 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: as opposed to the specifics of it. You wrote a 271 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: column yesterday. It's a story up on the jagg wars 272 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: dot com where you look position by position. Um I 273 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: thought the running back one was interesting because it's an 274 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: area they didn't address in the draft for whatever reason. 275 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: And when you've got a running back like Leonard Fernett, 276 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: who's that big, physical, bruising guy, my belief is you're 277 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: gonna need another one just like that because that's your personality, 278 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: your style. Tech Yelden's not that guy. Corey Grant not 279 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: that guy. Both of them have a role here. So 280 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: how do they address it? Well, um I had at 281 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: least one guy in the personnel department say we're excited 282 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: about what we think we're gonna get from t J. 283 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: Yelden this year. So clearly, and and you know last year, 284 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: Yelldon wasn't even active healthy but not active until Indianapolis 285 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: and he came up with a huge game dwo yards 286 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: in the fifty eight year touchdown against the Colts. Had 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: a big game with a couple of plays that stand 288 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: out in the passing game in Pittsburgh in the playoffs, 289 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: So clearly they're comfortable with where t J. Yeldon stands 290 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: as a part of the offense. I think that's the 291 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: biggest thing to remember, and Tim Cook, who's fourth right 292 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: now in that group, has a chance at some point. 293 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Um it's easy to always look back and what happened 294 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: in the past and think, well, that has to be 295 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: the way it is going forward. Yelden's role was a 296 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: little bit more of a third down back, catch the 297 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield spot. When Ivory and Foett 298 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: Warren and when I asked about this, well, why didn't 299 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: you draft a running back to play in back a 300 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: for Net? And what I was told is, look at 301 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: how it broke down at the end of last season. 302 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: Chris Ivory, who everybody thought they sort of had to replace, 303 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: didn't play in the last two regulous season games, didn't 304 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: play in two of the three playoff games. He wasn't 305 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: getting on the field. So their thought was, we don't 306 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: have to replace an element that was not playing a 307 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: key role. The X factor there is does four Net 308 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: stay healthy enough where that does in bite him, but 309 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: they believe that yelled in can be effective. Moving a 310 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: little bit more into what Chris Ivory did last year. 311 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: So you can't really base it all on how it 312 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: played out last year. When you look like, say, worst 313 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: case scenario four, NET does get hurt and then you 314 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: look at all of that depth chart, do you think 315 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are okay with what they have right now? Um? 316 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: I think they're okay if yelled in is what they 317 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: started to believe he was last year. Remember at the 318 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: end of the beginning of last to year, you could 319 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: tell when Doug started talking about yelled in right before 320 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis game, that he it's sometimes tough as a 321 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: coach to manage the roster. You want to get all 322 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: guys in, and there's and there's times you're playing guys 323 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: and you can't get a guy in. You can tell 324 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: he's sort of rethought t J yelled in, and he 325 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: said publicly a couple of times, we need to get 326 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: this guy in the game more. We like what he's doing. 327 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of that I thought that 328 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: Doug was showing publicly last year went on again in 329 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: the off season. They said, you know what t j. 330 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: Yelden deserves a chance to be the backup, deserves a 331 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: chance to be the guy for Nette can't go. We 332 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: don't think of him like that because we really haven't 333 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: seen that sort of production out of him. That's how 334 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: they're thinking of t J. You know, my answer to 335 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: your question is this, in today's game, if you have 336 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: a good backup, you're okay right at quarterback. But if 337 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: you lose your starter, you're in trouble. If for Net's 338 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: going for any length of time, I think they're in 339 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: trouble because their personality is so built on him and 340 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: their ability to pound the ball. I think they'll be 341 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: okay with Yeldon. I think Corey Grant is a guy 342 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: who you know, we saw him in the season finale 343 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: in sixteen in Indianapolis run for over a hundred yards 344 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: and added some big plays. I saw him walking in 345 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: there that he looks terrific, by the way, not that 346 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't always look good. He's a very about said looks. 347 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: But but Grant, I asked him, I said, you know 348 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: the question that I get most often this offseason at 349 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: a rotary club or a group wherever I am, is 350 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: how come Corey didn't get the ball more in the 351 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: a f C Championship. He just smiles. I said, he's 352 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: been asked that too. He said, yeah, I said, you 353 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: want the ball. He goes, yes, he wants the ball. 354 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: So they're good. They're comfortable with what they've got. But 355 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: keeping for Net healthy is a priority for this football 356 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: team because he's more than just the starting running back. 357 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: He really is the hammer, the personality on the offensive side. Um. 358 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: You know, tight end is another position that this team 359 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: was thought to have high on its list and going 360 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: to address um they did in free agency with Austin 361 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: Sefarie and Jenkins and Niles paul at A to Ben 362 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: koyak Um. But in talking to some guys and not 363 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: just the Jags personnel guys, the impact of a rookie 364 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: tight end historically has not Yeah, it has not been 365 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: that good. And so spending a pick at a position 366 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: where you're not going to expect a lot, where you 367 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: can find some veterans seems to make more sense for 368 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: this football team. And guys that I talked to, you you said, 369 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, even the top guys, the Hearsts of the world, 370 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: uh and the Dallas Goddards, their impact this year likely 371 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: to be a lot less than people think. Right, the 372 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: best tight end I've covered in terms of receiver was 373 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: Dallas Clark and Andy, and he had an impact, I believe, 374 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: I believe it's coming out here. Was oh three didn't 375 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: really make an impact in that offense till oh four 376 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: oh five. And this is a kid who was playing 377 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: in a pass oriented offense, had the skill set, was 378 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: a first round pick. Was very similar in terms of 379 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: when he came in to Hearst and Goddard and that bunch. 380 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: So to think you're gonna get huge impact at a 381 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: rookie tight end is it is that probably a little 382 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: bit much. I thought they might go with the position 383 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: just because if they got somebody there, they would have 384 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: that stretch the field effect. They clearly believed that they 385 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: could get that more out of DJ Shark than they 386 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: could out of the tight end position. Either way, it 387 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: seems like they got it. And don't forget that. In 388 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: the playoff game in Pittsburgh and really through the playoffs, 389 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: both Ben Koyak and James O'Shaughnessy young veterans, gave them 390 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: some plays in the passing game. And there's the opportunity 391 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: for both of those guys to improve this off season 392 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: and see what they god, especially at that spot you're 393 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: talking in you O'Shaughnessy and Koyak, guys who were drafted 394 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: into this league. So their philosophy here was especially once 395 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: they got passed the first three or four our rounds, 396 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: because they said they looked at tight end early. They 397 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: liked the idea, but they just couldn't get to it. 398 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes it happens in the draft. Rather than go with 399 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: a fifth round tight end and you had to develop, 400 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: They've already got a couple of those guys on the roster. 401 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: They've already got uh O'shawns, they've already Koyak. It's sort 402 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: of the same philosophy they took with linebacker, rather than 403 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: go after a fifth round strong side linebacker, we've got 404 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: one of those. We've got a last year and player Brown. 405 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: So there's a belief that guys who have been in 406 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: the system for a year have had time to develop. 407 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: If their fourth or fifth round picks, they're gonna be 408 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: more prepared to play right now than a second round 409 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 1: rookie would be. At a lot of spots. Any other 410 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: groups that stand out to you as you I mean, 411 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: I imagine since you did offense yesterday, you might have 412 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: a defensive story coming soon. Uh yeah, I might. I 413 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: just think that. Yeah, well it's uh I write that 414 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: up now. Thanks a lot. Probably linebacker stands out on 415 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: defense because it's a strange position in that sometimes fans 416 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: panic when they see a a position on the depth 417 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: chart where they haven't heard or seen everybody. And I 418 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: got a question the other day about the problem it's 419 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: strong side linebacker. Well, it's a problem strong side and 420 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: backer unless Blair Brown can play. To me, they looked 421 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: at Blair Brown last year and said, we need a 422 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: guy who can come in and play strong side, probably 423 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: play snaps. He doesn't have to be a multidimensional player 424 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: in that role. He can be a one dimensional guy 425 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: who can play on first down for now. Maybe he's 426 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: more than that, but what they need him to be 427 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: is a thirty percent of the downs first down player. 428 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: Uh So, if if they thought he couldn't do that, 429 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: they would have moved that up in the priority list. 430 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: They've obviously seen enough in him to think that he 431 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: can be that guy. The question becomes what happens after that. 432 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: The depth at that spot concerns you a little bit, 433 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: only because you haven't heard of the guys who are depth, 434 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: and that will be a concern if Telvin, if Miles 435 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: can't play. Last year, remember when Telvin could play for 436 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: a couple of games, paulpas Lesnie came in, played out 437 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: of position a little bit for what he had been doing, 438 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: but played at very high level. They had miss a beat. 439 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: Do they have that depth of linebackers? And obviously they 440 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: drafted a linebacker, the kid from Wisconsin in the seventh round. 441 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: He's more of a strong side guy. So we'll watch 442 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: his development see if he can provide some quality depth 443 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: as we go through this UM. Big thing three, Big 444 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: thing three. So you talked about the Twitter poll defending 445 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: the a f C South. We're looking at the next 446 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: few weeks all of those teams, but this week we're 447 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: looking at the Houston Texans. Now they didn't draft until 448 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: the fourth selection in the third round, guys. So I 449 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: don't think the storyline is more so the draft this 450 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: year is that the injury prone players that are coming 451 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: back to Shaun Watson, J. J. Watt, those guys. That's one. 452 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: Two is the fact that this is a team that's 453 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: had to rebuild through free agency. Their offensive line was 454 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: atrocious last year if you remember ten sacks they allowed 455 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: the Jaguars that started the Saxonville train rolling down the 456 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: tracks on opening Day. Um. So they did try in 457 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: free agency and the draft to improve the offensive line, 458 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: and the storyline if you recall on draft day was well, 459 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: the Texans really got their draft last year when they 460 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: traded those picks, got out of Brockos Wilder's salary, and 461 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: drafted to Shawn Watson. Get that, But Shaun Watson's coming 462 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: back from the knee and he's gonna need the offensive line. 463 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: To me, line too one does the defensive starts returning. 464 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: Storyline too is have to improve their offensive line enough 465 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: to give the Shawn Watsonson protection. Yeah, and to me 466 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: if i'd the Texans, if I'm covering the Texans, that's 467 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: storyline one. Because Watson showed that he can be good 468 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: last year. He showed during a six game stretch that 469 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: he can get through that first part of the order. 470 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: I always like it to a baseball pitcher. A quarterback 471 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: can look very good early, teams are going to figure 472 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: him out. Can he be a mobile guy to buy himself? 473 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: So I didn't watch him enough last year to know 474 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: exactly how he was playing. But if his game is 475 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: built on quickness, elusiveness, getting away athleticism in the backfield, 476 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: can he do that now that the knee is different. Secondly, 477 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: can the Texans offensive line protect well enough to give 478 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: him the time he needs the way? There's sort of 479 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: a thing out there that, well, if DeShawn Watson had 480 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: played last year, then the Jaguars season would have been 481 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: different because the Texans would have been better. The Texas 482 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: are favored over the Jaguars with the Super Bowl, and 483 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: in in one odds thing I saw, there's this perception 484 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: that if Deshaun Watson had played, then the Texans season 485 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: would have been entirely different. For a lot of pressure 486 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: on a young kide coming back, you know, that's what 487 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: the odds say. So can that offensive line be good enough? 488 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: I don't particularly care who was a quarterback in that 489 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: first game against the Texas. Against the Texas for the Jaguars, 490 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: you have ten sex and that kind of pressure, nobody 491 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: was gonna be able to function on that side. So 492 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: to me, you're exactly right the offensive line. I wonder 493 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: at this point about J. J. Watt Um. He's a 494 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: otherworldly player. It's been a long time since he's been that. 495 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: Eight games in the last two seasons, that's all he's played. 496 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: So you're almost talking about the same story with luck 497 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: and with what luck in Indianapolis. Are these guys actually 498 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: gonna get back? You hope they do for the sake 499 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: of the game. Eight games in two seasons. They say 500 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: it's a lot. I don't. I have more questions about 501 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: the Texans than I do answers going in. All right, 502 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: so one more question area and then we can talk 503 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: about where they added on the on the defensive side 504 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: of the ball. Running back Lamar Miller was okay, pretty 505 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,719 Speaker 1: good player. I think he had a hundred yard game 506 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: against this team once in the last two years since 507 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: he went from Miami to uh to Houston. Good player, 508 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: but he needs good around right well. And then so 509 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: they're they're banking a lot on Deanna to Foreman, but 510 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: he tore his achilles and he did that in November. 511 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: That isn't the injury that you come back from it. 512 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: It has sidelined more careers than guys have come back 513 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: from it. They're running game needs to be able to 514 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: help DeShawn Watson, and that's the question mark I have 515 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: I get the talent on defense, Merciless is there, Clowney 516 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: is a game record. They add Tyron Matthew and he 517 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: wrecked the Jaguars with that interception in Arizona late in 518 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: the year, and Aaron Colevin is a good player. But 519 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: to me, if they can't run the ball help Watson, 520 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: that defense is going to be on the field. A 521 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: lot more questions and answers for that dam and uh 522 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: and I think most of its circles back to the 523 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: offensive line. Can they function at some point? Probably gonna 524 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: come down head to head Jaguars and Texans. At some point, 525 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: cannad offensive line function against this defensive line. And as 526 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: you mentioned, most of the odds makers think that the 527 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: Texans are the biggest challenger to the Jaguars when it 528 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: comes to the a f C South Division title.

We're excited about it, but we don't know 554 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: where to find it. So you're looking forward. I'm looking 555 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: for it. I see it.

Oh, I don't know. Pretty 560 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: hip with the sod they call tech savvy? Should they 561 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: call me? Okay, John osre tech? I find that hard 562 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: to believe. Well, let's go to Ozone. Unless you've got it, 563 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't need your help. Get out John, specialist titans. 564 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: All right, what do you got? Alright, Ozone, let's go 565 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: with Frank from Ponto Vedra Beach here. Bill Polian was 566 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: quoted as saying, the best way to avoid a quarterback 567 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: controversy is to not have a quarterback competition. Do the 568 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars subscribe to that school of thought? Brian, I'm so tired. Yeah, 569 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: take this anymore. I mean, you just tried to explain 570 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: it and people won't come to the water. Yeah. I 571 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: mean I I've already done the beat in the head 572 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: of the desk thing. Yeah. So it's a good visual, 573 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna do it today. Um did Jaguars 574 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: believe in Blake Bortles. They believe that given what was 575 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: out there, they have things going in the right direction 576 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: to make a quarterback switch this offseason for somebody either 577 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: parallel or just below, or to bring in competition. You 578 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: talked early in the offseason and enunciated better than I could. 579 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: They learned a lot about Blake Bortles last year, not 580 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: necessarily stats wise, but the ability to handle adversity, the 581 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: ability to lead this team, the ability to be the guy. 582 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: This time last year it was new Tom Coffins was 583 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: coming in. Dugron hadn't worked with him. They didn't They 584 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: thought they liked Blake, but they didn't know this is 585 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: their guy. Now he impressed him. They believe it. And 586 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: I get that. There are fans like Frank who every 587 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: day of Blake Boy's question. He's not the only one. 588 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: I get it. But you know, I guess it's just 589 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: going to be a disconnect because when you talk to 590 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: people in this building, there is not this thing of oh, well, yeah, 591 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: but we Blake, but this it's this is our guy. 592 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: And I know you've heard the same thing. I can't 593 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: get it out of my head. Um, the Pittsburgh game. 594 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: So here you go into Pittsburgh and there's pressure, not 595 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: just because it's the playoffs, but to repeat to do 596 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: what you did in October, which has beat the Steelers 597 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. They remember, the fans remember it. Uh, Roethlisberger's 598 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: licking his chops at the opportunity because remember the post 599 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: game he's talking about how he's washed up. Now there's 600 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: all this pressure, and he came out and stake this 601 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: team to lead. And then in the second half of 602 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: that was the most impressive part in the second half. 603 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Every time roethlisbergram went down the field, here comes Blake 604 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: right back down the field and doing a lot of 605 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: it mentally as well as they played smart that game. 606 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: The third down and eight throw to Marquis where he 607 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: stood in the pocket and waited patiently and looked off 608 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: the safety and then came back to him may have 609 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: been his best throw in the game. And most people 610 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: can't even recall it because it wasn't big, but it 611 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: showed that sort of savvy veteran quarterback presence that people 612 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: don't give him credit for. Um, I get it. He 613 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: didn't play flawless football in the a f C Championship game. 614 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: But if you look at the entirety of the postseason 615 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: on which quarterbacks are judged, he is judged to have 616 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: been a good quarterback for this team, judged favorably they do. 617 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: And so from my perspective, people are just gonna have 618 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: to understand they are building this offense around what he does. 619 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: Well what comes of it. I'm breaking news. Dave Decanis 620 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: texted me and I now know that you have to 621 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: answer the Twitter pool to get the answers. I was 622 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: trying to answer it and you were brushing me off, 623 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: and I didn't know Tech. I know, Tech, Well, you 624 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: didn't vote, so I didn't know, but you did vote 625 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: for the Titans, which relieve these results that the Texans 626 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: have won. This said they would be the biggest challenge next. 627 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: None of them were confident about this football team. The 628 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: Texans there at least seem like Blake Bordles is the 629 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: quarterback and they don't need a competition at camp. Well, I, 630 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: as I said at the top, I think the Jaguars 631 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: are the biggest foe because if they do what they 632 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: do well, if they build on what they did, if 633 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: they're strong in the areas they're strong, then I think 634 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: they'll control this. I don't think the last game of 635 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: the season has to be for the division title to 636 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: be that tight um, but health, all the things you 637 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: talk about. I think this is the best team in 638 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: the division if they play up to that. Anything else 639 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: in these zones. Yeah, let's go with Emily from Tallahassee, Florida. 640 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: Last year, many expected competition between Brandon Albert and Cam 641 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: Robinson to start at tackle. Could you foresee the loser 642 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: of the Jeremy Parnell will Richardson competition at right tackle, 643 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: pushing A J. Cann from his starting spot on the line. Well, Brian, 644 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't because I don't think it's as much of 645 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: a competition as the Albert Robinson thing would have been 646 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: last year. Um, I think will Richardson is a guy 647 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: that they like in two thousand nineteen. They want to 648 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: see him going for They believe he has all kinds 649 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: of talent. But I've got no sense that they think 650 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: there's going to be a tight competition there with the 651 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: other guys so talented that he kicks inside of where 652 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: a J can remember the I thought last year was 653 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: he would kick inside to the other guard Albert or Robinson, inside, 654 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: Patrick mom Ay or you know, they had a couple 655 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: of guys playing guard last year. They a j Can 656 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: is not a Pro Bowl player, but there is not 657 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: a feeling in the building of We've got to figure 658 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: out something to do with a j Can's mission. They're 659 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: fine with him starting, obviously if somebody else comes out 660 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: and blows him out of the water. But there is 661 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: not a thought of we have to fix this position 662 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: over here. They believe he's a good NFL player out 663 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: a Pro bowler, but he's okay. So I think that 664 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: and I heard it on draft day when they talked 665 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: about Richardson. They talked about his ability to slide in 666 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: and competed guard um. But we mentioned earlier he's a tackle, 667 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: and you know, I said throughout the off season, I 668 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: thought they should draft a right tackle. Jeremy Partnell is 669 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: an older player, uh, guy who had had a lot 670 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: of braces on last year right elbow and knee. And 671 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: it's a five million dollar cap it, which is not 672 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: it's not a huge offensive tackle in this day and age. 673 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,479 Speaker 1: But for a team that's getting up against the cap 674 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: right their cap space is shrinking, I thought, well, if 675 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: you could draft one, well, then you can move on there. 676 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: They didn't. They like Jeremy Parnell. They thought he played 677 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: well last year and they are comfortable with him. So 678 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: Will Richardson is too. You build for future. That's what 679 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: Will Richard is right nineteen. It would be a perfectly 680 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: time transition. I mean not to rush Jeremy out of 681 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: the building, but it'd be a perfectly trans time transition. 682 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: You get it. It's the way you draw it up, right, 683 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's draft fourth rounder, haven't developed, haven't be ready, 684 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: thirty out of it. It's perfect, but it doesn't have 685 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: to happen right now. He's a tackle, Richardson is who 686 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: could who could play guard, But they don't need him to. 687 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: What they're trying to do when they say that on 688 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: draft days, show you the athletic versatility that he has. 689 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: If he doesn't pan out a tackle, which they don't 690 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: know yet, well then maybe he could play guard. But 691 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: the thought he is a good enough player that he'll 692 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: eventually be your starting right tackle, not yet because you 693 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: have porned out again. That speaks to the talent in 694 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: the funnel, right, They've got players they can move through. 695 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: That's not going anywhere. Of course, I'll have a graphic 696 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: for that next week. Anything else from his own. Are 697 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: we done with this, Let's do a Facebook comment. I 698 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: got a few good ones. Good they're just thing tight 699 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: end here. David A. S j was a monster against 700 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: our Jaguars d He was a problem for us when 701 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: we played the Jets. He had a twenty seven yard catch, 702 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: his longest of the season, right in the middle of 703 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: the field and Miles Jack was back in coverage and 704 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: Buried Church came up and they were they It was 705 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: pretty good coverage on the play. However, he got up 706 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: above it. He's big, big, and he got up the 707 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: six ft seven and snared the ball in for a 708 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: big first down on a drive at the end of 709 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: the second quarter. That's what's been missing that down the 710 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: seam tight end. This is a guy who can get there, 711 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: as you said, Brian, they also believe he can blot. Yeah, 712 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: so seventy pounds. I was told. I said, can he 713 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: give you what Mercedes Louis gave you in the ground game? 714 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,439 Speaker 1: I didn't get, well, no, but we're not asking him. 715 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: I didn't get close. I got he's two seventy. That 716 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: was the answer, of course, he is. Of course he is. 717 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: He can do it. I believe he can. We'll see 718 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: what else you got. All right, we got a last 719 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,439 Speaker 1: o zone here, Rick. Oh, do you think the Jabs 720 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: will be willing to enter the season with just Leonard 721 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: for net T j yelled in and Corey Grant at 722 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: running back plus the full back to keep more talent 723 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: into players at other positions. Uh? Yeah. And the thing remember, 724 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: running back is not all positions are created equal in 725 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: terms of being able to replace in this league, um, 726 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: running back is definitely a spot where if you are 727 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: in a bind in training camp after the preseason, often 728 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: guys are available. If you need somebody just to run, 729 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: you can usually find a guy just to run. The 730 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: trick with the running back is finding somebody who can 731 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: fit into a complex offensive system if they get in 732 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: a bind and realize, you know what, the guys we 733 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: have in the roster can't do it. That is a 734 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: position you can pick up late in training camp, all 735 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: right before the regular season, as long as you're looking 736 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: for a backup. Perfect example, and I can't think of 737 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: the name, maybe you can help me with this. The 738 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: running back from Notre Dame, who we have on the 739 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: roster here in your own bets. He what do you 740 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: like a hundred and eighty three yards rushing on a 741 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 1: Sunday night football game for the Patriots. And then and 742 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: then he gone. The next year he went to Miami, 743 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: and then he ended up here. And the name is 744 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: escaping me. But short guy Stocky, Yeah, you can find 745 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: running backs, definitely, we can find your own better. The 746 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: fact that we can't think of his name proves your point, 747 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: which is you can find running backs who can come 748 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 1: in and give you something in short order. A lot 749 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: of guys out there who can run on the street. 750 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: The issue is can you find a guy who can 751 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: pick everything up in this offense? If you're just asking 752 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: a guy to run, you can pick a guy up. 753 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: I don't think that. I don't think they're looking to 754 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: do that, though clearly they're fine with what they've got. 755 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: They like t. J. Yelden, they know Corey Grant can 756 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: give them something. And this Tim Cook kid that you 757 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: keep writing about, I've mentioned a couple of times. All 758 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, i'm his fans. What can you tell 759 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: us about him? He's uh named Tim Cook? Okay, there 760 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: was a mistake, guy, right, I believe I thought, if 761 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: you say that, I believe as You're right it is 762 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 1: Oregan say he was in camp last year, big kid 763 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,919 Speaker 1: in that range. Okay, so we all told you something 764 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: about him. As we come to the close of the show, 765 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 1: there's him cook right there from training camp last year. 766 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: Sounds guy there he is.
